How do I decide on the protien drinks??? Are they pretty much the same???

Here is my list from the doctor:

Glucerna

Atkins

Myoplex

Shape Up

Reclaim

Myocel

HELP ME PLEASE.

Unjury is the best... no yucky smell... mixes well and tastes awesome! It is more expensive but honestly... it is worth every penny! You can find it at http://unjury.com

I must agree with Darcy!! I ordered the 4 samples for around 10.00 (inc. shipping) to try them. The only one I haven't tried is the unflavored one that I will mix with my broth, crystal light, juice, etc. I just re-ordered the big containers of the vanilla and unflavored. I'm not one for the taste of any type of Protein drink but these were pretty good. The chocolate was good, too, but the vanilla tasted great with blueberries in a blender and I figure I can always "flavor up" the vanilla.

I'm getting ready to go tomorrow for my surgery on Friday (Mexico). unjury is pretty good about getting it to you quickly, as well. Should have it early next week when I need it.

I love the Adkin's drinks myself. They have recently improved the taste and it is really good. You can choose between strawberry, vanilla and 2 chocolate flavors. They normally run about $5.00 for 4 cans at any Walmart. I have been drinking them for breakfast for a long time now. I have not tried unjury, but a lot of people on here swear by it. Hope this helps. My 7 days of liquid begin on Friday! Pray for me...

The Reclaim Double Dutch chocolate is very good and very satisfying both as a shake and as a plain drink. Myocel is pretty awful. Both are available at the SCOR center in Richardson and are what my surgeon requires for pre-op.

My favorite Protein powders are the Protein Delite....comes in many flavors that are just delicious - chocolate coconut is my favorite -but comes in many fruit flavors, too.

I hated every protein drink I ever tried. I use the Slim Fast powder (low carb) and add Knox bone and joint powder (tastless and adds protein). I mix it all in a min-blender with skim milk and some ice.

the only ones Icould palate are the Atkins ones premixed in the can. And they had to be ICE COLD!

Any of the powders tasted to me like chalk.

I like Unjury, and for convenience I like Atkins Advantage, Chocolate. I buy them at Sam's by the case. I like to have them on hand for times when I need to keep a liquid diet for a few days (if I'm sick, or just had a fill).

Good luck choosing yours!

Body Fortress.

Cheap.

Available at Wal Mart.

Tastes good...at least I can vouch for the chocolate.

I just order the Unjury. My LB doctor recommends it. I ordered the vanilla. I hope it works. I really have to get back on track!
